The picture purports to contain two similar triangles, that is,triangles that have the same angles. But if they have the same angles,they should have sides in the same ratios. The ratio in one case is 2/5,and in the other is 3/8. So the triangles are not similar, and haveslightly differing angles.

The result is that the diagonal line in the two pictures is not quitestraight. In the top case, it is slightly bent towards the bottom leftcorner, and in the bottom case it is slight bent away from that corner.So the areas are not the same, as is shown by the appearance of theextra square.

I checked the diagonal with a ruler and it appeared to be straight. Theonly explanation is that one composite triangle must be slightly larger(3%) - that is the only possible explanation - otherwise its existenceviolates the law of similar triangles.

Maybe Wayne Swan can produce such a triangle in a couple of weeks andexplain how nearly $300b got spent yet the NBN is not even 50% of whereit should be, asylum queue jumper boats look like Keating's J-Curve (andclimate change doesn't) and unemployment has *doubled* under Gillard(i.e. in *only* 2.5 years).--Julia Gillard..."I don't want the mining industry to hire a single foreign worker ifthere is an Australian who can do the job"(PS: Who issues the visas????????????????????)

It cannot be straight, for the reasons given, but the diference in theangles (on the right of the triangles), is only 1.25 degrees, so isdifficult to see with a ruler, particularly given the thickness of thelines.

Phew, that's a relief!

Or the law of similarity would be violated - and mathematical laws(unlike human ones) are not to be broken.

The strange children will already know that there's no Santa Claus. It'sthe normal children who need to be accosted and informed.
